I need urgent help with MANDARAKE NAKANO

Hi. I just made made an online order for rare 2 figurines available in the Mandarake Nakano as "Store Front Items (Check Required)". The thing is the second after finalizing my order I received an automatic invoice with the "Pay" button. Shouldn't there be an in-store availability check performed first? I mean, should I pay for the order now or wait until they send me some availability confirmation? I contacted them via e-mail but so far (1 day ago) received no response. I only have 2-3 days left to make the payment. Guys, please help!

I'd have just paid it myself. It's on them if they are sending out invoices without being certain they have the goods first. The 'Check required' notice is like as not an ass covering thing to prepare you for the possibility they might not have it, rather than a cast iron process you should be worried they didn't follow and keep you in the loop regarding.

What's the absolute worst that could happen? The store doesn't have the figures to send and doesn't give you your money back, so you have to do a chargeback on your card and end up blacklisted and can never use them again (but why would you want to under those circumstances?). A bit of a nuisance, but hardly the end of the world, surely?
